Patented April 2, 1907.

Application filed September 26, 1906. Serial No. 336,344.

To a 1077 0771 it may concern: I

Be it known that I, CLARENCE A. PHIL- LIPS, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Middleb'ury, in the county of Addison and State ofVermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PlowAttachments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention provides a novel attachment for plows of the type havinga wingshovel, the purpose being to prevent the earth passing over theupper edge of the shovel and wing and to insure turning the dirt backupon the hill.

For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and alsoto acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of the means foreffecting the result reference is to be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings.

l/Vhile the invention may be adapted to different forms and conditionsby changes in the structure and minor details without departing from thespirit or essential features thereof, still the preferred embodiment isshown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of a wingshovel plow having the attachment in position. Fig. 2 is adetail view showing the manner of securing the attachment to the plow.Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the attachment.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the samereference characters.

The attachment is designed for application to plows of the varietyhaving side wings and is adapted to be arranged at the upper end or edgeof the shovel and wing or wings, so as to increase the width to anextent to prevent passage of the earth thereover when the plow is inoperation, the upper rear corner of the attachment being curved upwardtosuch an extent as to insure throwing of the dirt back upon the hill.

The wing-shovel plow illustrated is of ordinary type and comprises theshovel 1 and wings 2, said parts being secured together and to theplow-stock 3 in the usual way. fg gThe attachment comprises similarblades 4, preferably of steel, each arranged at the upper edge of a wing2, with its inner end extending over the-upper end of the shovel l, thetwo blades meeting centrallyof the shovel and inclined forwardly andoutwardly in conformity to the wings 2 and having their upper rearcorners curved outward, as shown at 5, to throw the dirt back upon thehill. The blades 4 may be secured to the wings 2 and to the shovel 1 andto each other in any convenient way, as by means of strap-irons 6, whichoverlap the joints of the adjacent parts, to which they are bolted orfastened in any manner to admit of the ready removal of the blades whenrequired for any purpose.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. Incombination with a plow comprising a shovel and a wing, an attachmentconsisting of a blade arranged at the upper edge of the wing and havingits inner end extending over the upper end of the shovel.

2. In combination with a plow comprising a shovel and a wing, anattachment consisting of a blade arranged at the upper edge of the wingand having its inner end extending over the upper end of the shovel, theupper rear corner of the blade being curved forward to throw the dirtback upon the hill.

3. In combination with a plow comprising a shovel'andoppositely-disposed wings, an attachment, the same comprising similarblades arranged above the wings, and having their inner ends extendingover the upper end of the shovel and meeting on a central line, theupper rear corners of the blades being curved forward to throw the dirtback upon the hill.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
